Spies Like Us (1985) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows two agents who flunked their spy exams. Government leaders feel these two are the perfect stooges to send over enemy lines and distract the Russians while the real spies are sent in to accomplish a top secret mission. When the real spies fail can the dummy spies succeed?
This movie is directed by John Landis (The Blues Brothers) and stars Chevy Chase (National Lampoon's Vacation), Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbusters), Heidi Sorenson (Fright Night), Frank Oz (The Muppets) and Bernie Casey (Revenge of the Nerds).
While the comedic content is inconsistent, Chase and Aykroyd are awesome and play off each other perfectly. I will say every joke that involves the male genitalia is outstanding and the training scenes are hilarious. I adore the autopsy scene every time I see it also. The final shootout is well done and unpredictable. The Russian snow bunnies are gorgeous and Sorenson is fire. The premise is unique and a fun addition to the comedic genre.
Overall this is far from Chase and Aykroyd's best work but it is still entertaining and worthwhile. I would score this a 6-6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
